The following web site has a number of useful spreadsheets: http://www.engineering-international.com In particular,for your wind loadings: http://www.engineering-international.com/Wind-ASCE7-02.xls You can actually use the demo spreadsheets, but usually at least one cell is locked, so you need...

Thanks for the reply. I still would like to know if there is a way to apportion the leeward and windward parts of the load to the MWFRS. In the old SBC and even in ASCE 7, Section 6, the windward and leeward apportionment is addressed(usually .8 x windward and .5 x leeward of a certain basic...
